Bath Rugby are expected to name a full-strength side for Thursday night's Amlin Cup clash at home to Bordeaux in order to secure top seeding for the quarter-finals.

Bath round off their Pool 2 campaign when the Top 14 outfit visit The Rec (7.45pm). They have won all five group games so far but are likely to need a bonus-point win if they are to be seeded first for the last-eight draw and therefore avoid the teams dropping down from the Heineken Cup.

Mike Ford's side are in pole position for the top ranking having secured 23 points from a possible 25 so far. Wasps have 22 points but finish the group phase with a much easier contest as they entertain Italian side Viadana on Sunday.

"We've set ourselves targets along the way and one of those is to get a home quarter-final," said head coach Ford.
